Troubleshooting and Repairs

This section conta ins preventive and corr ective maintenance pr ocedures for the NEC Versa MiniDock 6000. The first part of the section describes cleaning procedures and preferred handling procedures for sensitive components.
The second part of the section contains removal and replacement procedures for all field replaceable parts. The remainder of the section includ es an Illustrat ed Parts Breakdown (IPB), that identifies parts and corresponding part numbers for ordering purposes.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Follow these precautions when using and storing the MiniDock 6000.
Do not use or store the MiniDock in direct sunlight or near radiant heat sources
for an exce ssiv e leng th o f time.
Do not use or store the MiniDock in dusty environments.
Do not use or store the MiniDock near chemicals.
Do not cover the air vents or put anything near enough to them to block air cir-
culation.
Avoid excessive vibration or shock.
Keep the MiniDock away from machinery that generat es st ro ng e lectric or mag-
net ic field s.
Do not place heavy objects on the MiniDock. Make sure the CRT base is in posi-
tion before placing an external monitor on it. The base is designed to support an external monitor on ly. Do not place ot her heavy object s on the CRT base.
Cleaning the MiniDock’s Exterior
Use the steps below to clean t he out er sur face o f the unit.
1.
Power off the MiniDock. Unplug all cables connected to the syste m.
2.
Wipe the outside of the unit, with a soft, clean cloth. Remove stains with a mild, liquid detergent like a common household cleaner.
Cleaning the MiniDock’s Interior
When servicing the inside of the unit, remove dust and other foreign particles from inside as follows.
3-2 Troubleshooti ng and Repair s
Remove the top cover using the disassembly procedures discussed later in this
1.
section. Dust or vacuum (with a rubber-tipped nozzle) t he inside of the system unit par -
2.
ticularly the motherboard surface. Use car e to avoid damaging or dislodging any components o r cables.
Inspect all cables connectors for damage. Ensure that connectors are seated prop-
3.
erly before replacing the cover.
Protecting the Disk Drives
To protect the optional disk drives, back up the data periodically on diskettes. Periodically use a head-cleaning diskett e in the floppy diskette drive to prolong the life of the drive and to help ma inta in data int e grity.
Here are some maintenance pro cedur es to use when servic ing a hard disk:
Always back up the data files from the hard disk.
Run a virus detecting progr am to detect a poss ible virus infested area on the hard disk.
Use SCANDISK to correct any errors found in the directory and File Allocation Table (FAT). This will also free up space from any unused sectors.
Never move or raise the MiniDock while the hard disk is being accessed. Do n't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
Use hard disk maintenance progr ams like DEFRAG under DOS or Norton Utili-
ties SPEEDISK programs. These programs reorganize your hard disk by e limi­nating fragmentation and improving the hard disk access time.
REQUIRED TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
All MiniDock corrective maintenance procedures can be per formed using the following tools:
tweezers
small flat-head screwdriver
small phillips screwdriver
